Get value from URL after the last /

Question

I have looked around for this but can only find links and references to this been done after an anchor hashtag but I need to get the value of the URL after the last / sign.

I have seen this used like this:

www.somesite.com/archive/some-post-or-article/53272

the last bit 53272 is a reference to an affiliate ID..

Thanks in advance folks.

Answer 1

$url = 'www.somesite.com/archive/some-post-or-article/53272';
$parse = explode('/',$url);
$count = count($parse);
$yourValue = $parse[$count-1];

That's all.

Answer 2

<?php
$url = "www.somesite.com/archive/some-post-or-article/53272";

$last = end(explode("/",$url));

echo $last;

?>

Use this.

You can do this :

$url = 'www.somesite.com/archive/some-post-or-article/53272';
$id = substr(url, strrpos(url, '/') + 1);
